I have a problem with Paul because he reiterates precisely what is wrong with modern Christianity. He was in his day exactly the same as many Christians claim themselves as today. False believers seeking to gain something, mainly acceptance. From the wrong source, naturally, but when acceptance is granted what does one care of the illogicality surrounding its source?
...So you ignore the teachings of Paul because you do not like him, but cant comprehend a version of Christianity that allows fun sex between a husband and wife. That is because Paul's primary message is freedom in Christianity. Take away Paul and his teachings and you will bind yourself to a legalist lay crippling version of Christianity. The funny thing is both Paul and Christ said that is ok. If you can not handle the freedom Christ offers you can bind yourself to the law any way you like, just be prepared to be judged by your own standard.
